Such a lovely venue for a winter wedding - Ramster Hall near Chiddingfold in Surrey is a beautiful timber framed house. I say house in the loosest of terms - it has a long hall, a brick hall, a great drawing room and gardens to die for. So yes it is a house, albeit a rather grand one, but not at all stuffy - with pictures by Mr Gunn, Japanese Samurai warriors, swords and shield!

We filled the great drawing room with vases of scented freesia, roses and ranunculus - then lots & lots of candles.

We have a few days free of weddings - so it is back to the shops and preparations for Christmas.

yes its that time of year when Matthew whirls and twirls around the county with foliages, berries, moss and anything else he feels inclined to use.

we are running two morning workshops on the 5th and 7th of December, its £95 and you get to make your own door garland and table arrangement.

there is even an evening workshop on 15th December, £45, when we serve warm mulled wine, delicious hot nibbles and then you get to play in the main shop and make a garland - no previous floristry experience is required. Just bring along your secateurs, apron, bag to take home all your purchases in - did I forget to mention that you even get a 10% discount on anything in the shop - excluding Matthew himself.

I just wanted to write to thank both you and Matt for doing the MOST FABULOUS flowers for my wedding. The church was absolutely divine. It looked and smelt so fantastic. Honestly I'm running out of adjectives! Everyone commented on how fantastic they were and loved how fragrant the church smelt. It was simple, elegant but incredibly striking.

On top of that, the bouquets, in particular mine, were everything that I hoped they would be and more. My bouquet was the dream that I have had since I was a little girl, long, flowing, stunning and I love the idea that it was put together by Matt, to marry a Matt. What a lovely, lovely idea.

I'm sure you've heard from Mum that the day was wonderful. I've attached some photos for you but I know that she's planning (or maybe has already?) to come and see you and show you the day. Make sure you have a coffee, there's a few photos!

Thank you also for the gorgeous 'Mum's flowers' - you should have seen their faces when our best man presented them to them. Great work!

The final thank you is for your patience and kindness. I'm sure you've done hundreds of weddings and so are used to all the goings on, but it meant so much to me that you made Mum feel important, calm & happy. I certainly appreciated the hug just days before the wedding! On the day itself, I was super, super calm, Mum not so much, but she got there in the end and enjoyed her day I think! I LOVED it and took in every second I could. It was a magical day.

Anyway, my huge thanks again.

If ever you make it out to Hong Kong, do let me know, we'd love to take you out for a thank you drink!
